This is very good work! But if you want some feedback on it, as mentioned below, the clothes could maybe have a little more detail, and also the far ear looks to be at a bit of an odd angle but maybe that's how he is! Still, well done though, great piece!

My first thoughts on this piece is that it's rather dark - is that from producing it digitally or is it actually that dark? Either way, you have handled this portrait beautifully. He appears lifelike, especially in the way you have shaded his features and kept the expression to his eyes. The wrinkles and general facial structure has also been shaded beautifully. Another lovely piece!

Thank you. I have drawn this from life on gray paper and it is actually that dark. But I may have exxagerated it.

You have really great skill in creating structure. The eyes are very expressive, and you captured the wrinkles and folds in his face well. It looks like an impressionist painting ^^
I also like the lack of detail in the clothes on this one, since it draws more attention to the face.

Wow, I didn't know Ingres had a type of paper named after him. Learn something new every day...

Love your method of laying down the color. Very energetic. You also did great with the contours on the surface of his face, especially around the mouth and eyes. I find older people with wrinkles have more character and are more fun to do portraits of.

Great job keeping his eyes focused, too. That's something I have a lot of issues with, portraits or otherwise...

This is great- the wrinkles look real on him . The clothes are a bit too simple though as is the hair on the side of his head - his mustache is detailed enough though.

Wonderful expression in his features and eyes. I like the combination of blended curves and angular planes that you used here Simone.

This is very well drawn! :higfive: high fives are in order I would like to have seen more detail on his clothes, but that is alright. The face is what I really am centered on, it very good especially the wrinkles under the eyes.
